The Chocolate Chip Starfish, also known as the Horned Starfish, are distinguishable due to the horns on its legs that look like chocolate chips. These horns protect the starfish because it is difficult to swallow. Because they are slow moving, they should not be kept with predatory fish. Their diet consists of chopped clams, shrimp, and squid.

These inverts are for saltwater aquariums only.
